Lebanon Valley Bicycle Coalition will host a Ride of Silence with the start location at the Cleona Borough Office, 140 W. Walnut Street, two blocks south of SR 422. Helmets are required and participants will need to sign a waiver form prior to the start. Be ready to ride by 6:45 PM. Rides of Silence expect the participants not to converse during the Ride. A bagpiper – bicyclist will mark our ride as we pass through the center of Annville.

The route will take bicyclists west on SR 422 from Cleona to the shopping center in N. Londonderry Township and return.

We will gather around 6:30pm at Central Bucks HS and, after remarks, will take a slow, flat ride through through the borough. There will be no stops as we'll be escorted by police, fire, and emergency vehicles.

The Ride of Silence is scheduled to take place Wednesday,May 20th at 7:00 P.M. The purposes of this silent ride are to honor cyclists killed/injured in motor vehicle related accidents and to raise awareness about the rights of cyclists to ride the roads. The ride is being held in Philadelphia for the tenth year in a row and in its 12th year since its inception. It is expected to be held this year at over 300 U.S. locations and in over 20 countries. Last year we had about 175 participants and this year we are hoping to attract at least 500 riders to the event.

The 8 mile long route will start at the foot of the front steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum on the Ben Franklin Parkway. A brief pre-ride dedication ceremony will take place at 6:45 PM and the 11 mile per hour ride will start promptly at 7:00 P.M. It will proceed down the Parkway, circle City Hall, continue to Independence Hall and head over to West Philly via the Walnut St. Bridge. The ride will return to the front of the Art Museum over the Spring Garden Street Bridge.The duration of the ride is expected to be 1 hour. Helmets are required and bicycle lights are encouraged.
